《菜根谭》英译（心地光明、才华韫藏）

君子之心事，天青日白，不可使人不知；君子之才华，玉韫珠藏，不可使人易知。

The heart of a real gentleman is as clear as the blue sky and the broad daylight, so that others may never misunderstand it. But he seldom reveals his talents, which are like a jade hidden in a jadestone.

（保罗·怀特 译）

The heart of a worthy man should be as clear as the blue sky and the bright sunshine, so that everybody can lightly feel it. But on the contrary, his talents should be carefully concealed like jade and pearls, so that nobody can easily find them out.
